I am 63 and severely/profoundly deafened.
I live alone in a small country Ireland.
We have virtually no healthcare to speak of which has the word 'quality' written on it.
I have no idea how to get help regarding such terrible nights I experience.
I am about 11 stones in weight and 5' 7" in height.
My twin is much heavier with awful back problems.

I also have had crohns surgery and when I wake my lower back is agony as the surgery has weakened my tum and with the muscle wasting even more so.
I use an electric bed with an ordinary mattress.Cheap foam has been provided but makes little impact on quality of sleep.
Pressing on it from a standing position, it seems bouncy and soft, but whatever is wrong when I lie on the darn thing it feels as if its rock hard.
I do need help.
I am also not rich as I never worked.
I am demented from lack of help and lack of sleep
Thanks, Ann

I'm at my wits end

Hello Ann,
I believe that you will get the greatest degree of relief with the pocketed coil unit of the Simmons Beautyrest and a soft latex mattress topper.Simmons has a plant in France and they service Ireland and the U.K. from there.The latex topper can be had through Talalay Global, which is based in London.
The pocketed coils contour to the shape of your body and in designed to maintain the natural alignment of your spine...helping to relieve pressure points.
A 2" soft layer of Talalay Latex enhances the surface feel and does the best job of relieving pressure points and promoting muscle relaxation...all adding up to a better night's sleep.

Thanks, Pete

Peter, thank you so much for this.
Do any of these retailers ever allow you pay bit by bit so that the whole thing is paid for.
It used to be done but probably not any more.
I am not rich but am honest, which I am proud of.

Hi Ann,

That sort of thing is an individual policy for each retailer.

Other than layaway, I don't know of any retailer still doing that.

But, once you find a local Simmons retailer, it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Best of luck.

Thanks, Pete

An Important Note:

Any kind of moisture, be it from spills, accidents or perspiration causes a mattress to wear prematurely.
